Kyle, nice pic. I have several females with that speckling pattern. They het for albino. They also have a deep orange tint. Do you see many like this?

Hi Jay,
A few years ago Bob Clark told me that he also noticed that the Albino hets quite often had speckling around their faces. This particular animal was not an Albino het. He was an import hatchling that was sold to me as a "junglish" looking animal. I looked at your website and it is very impressive. I appreciate your comments. If you have any photos of your speckled Royal's I would like to look at them. Have a great weekend and happy 4th of July.

Kyle

Thanks! Here is a pic of one. I have another that has more speckles and is a deeper yellow/orange look. But she's a bit mean this evening so I have decided to leave her alone tonight. The speckles vary and I'm sure they mean nothing but it's just another interesting version of the ball. I have different levels of speckling - some with very little and some with lots. I also have another interesting specimen with speckling.

The lighter part runs the entire lenght of the snake's body. I'm going to breed her next year and then line breed her to see if anything is genetic. I talked with Ralph and I'm thinking it's not. But who knows.
